NOTE 

The  following  Catalogue  is  designed  to  bring  into  an  orderly  group 
the  authors  for  whom  Houghton,  Mifflin  &  Co.  act  as  publishers. 
The  brief  biographical  sketches  have  been  prepared  with  great  care, 
and  are  intended  to  supply  that  condensed  information  which  a  rea- 
sonable curiosity  as  to  the  personality  of  authors  demands.  The 
order  of  the  authors  is  alphabetical;  the  order  of  the  books  under 
each  author  is  in  the  main  chronological,  the  latest  publication  being 
placed  first,  and  the  earliest  last ;  but  in  a  few  instances,  especially 
where  a  series  of  volumes  is  involved,  this  rule  has  been  broken ; 
where  two  dates  are  given,  it  will  be  understood  that  the  later  stands 
for  a  revision  or  reissue.  The  books  named  are  in  cloth  binding, 
except  where  otherwise  designated,  as  in  paper-bound  series ;  but  in 
almost  all  cases,  in  all  in  fact  of  what  are  known  as  standard  books, 
the  publications  may  be  had  in  various  styles  of  extra  binding. 

It  has  been  thought  serviceable  to  set  forth  many  of  the  publications 
in  classified  form.  A  special  feature  of  the  issues  of  this  house  is 
the  grouping  of  books  not  upon  a  merely  mechanical  basis,  but  with 
reference  to  encyclopaedic  and  continuous  methods.  The  several 
Libraries  and  Series  thus  will  be  found  in  alphabetical  order  at  the 
close  of  the  Catalogue,  as  well  as  the  groups  of  anthologies,  profes- 
sional books,  and  periodicals.  A  brief  sketch  of  the  history  and 
organization  of  the  house  precedes  the  work.  The  publishers  take 
this  occasion  to  thank  the  authors,  whose  agents  they  are,  for  the 
courtesy  with  which  they  have  supplied  the  information  desired.  It 
did  not  appear  practicable  to  add  the  portraits  of  authors,  —  these 
will  be  found  in  large  number  in  the  Portrait  Catalogue,  —  but  in 
view  of  the  long-continued  and  exclusive  relations  held  by  the  house 
with  the  six  great  American  authors  who  are  everywhere  recognized  as 
the  men  of  the  classic  period,  a  group  of  these  is  given  as  a  frontispiece.

OF 

HOUGHTON,  MIFFLIN  AND  COMPANY 


THE  founder  of  the  publishing  house  of  Houghton,  Mifflin  and 
Company  was  Henry  Oscar  Houghton,  and  the  beginnings  of 
the  business  are  to  be  found  in  his  personal  ventures  long  before  the 
firm  took  its  present  style.  Mr.  Houghton  was  born  in  the  little  vil- 
lage of  Sutton,  Vermont,  April  30,  1823.  At  the  age  of  thirteen  he 
became  an  apprentice  in  the  office  of  the  Burlington  J^ree  Press,  and  in 
the  mechanical  training  there  received  he  laid  in  part  the  foundation 
of  his  business  success.  A  more  important  foundation  was  in  the  in- 
tellectual training  upon  which  he  afterward  entered.  An  elder  brother 
was  at  the  time  a  student  in  the  University  of  Vermont,  and  listening 
to  his  advice,  the  boy  determined  to  acquire  a  collegiate  education. 
At  the  age  of  nineteen  he  entered  the  same  university  with  twelve  and 
a  half  cents  in  his  pocket,  but  with  a  substantial  preparation  and  with 
a  resource  in  his  trade  as  a  printer  to  which  he  turned  from  time  to 
time  as  a  means  of  support. 

Mr,  Houghton's  first  purpose,  like  that  of  many  college  graduates 
of  his  day,  was  to  take  up  teaching  until  he  could  decide  upon  his 
permanent  vocation  j  but  failing  to  find  a  favorable  opportunity,  he 
took  up  the  work  of  a  reporter  on  the  Boston  Traveller.  It  was 
while  he  was  engaged  on  the  newspaper  that  the  publication  of  a 
scholarly  work  by  one  of  the  publishing  houses  in  Boston  demanded 
a  proof-reader  trained  in  the  classics,  and  the  task  came  to  Mr.  Hough- 
ton. The  renewal  of  his  old  art  opened  the  way,  and  though  at  first 
reluctant,  since  in  the  eyes  of  most  in  those  days  a  college  educa- 
tion seemed  thrown  away  on  a  printer,  he  resolved  to  turn  to  printing 
as  his  vocation,  and  in  January,  1849,  he  joined  Mr.  Bolles,  then  of 
the  firm  of  Freeman  and  Bolles,  in  establishing  a  printing  office  under 
the  style  of  Bolles  and  Houghton.     Mr.  Freeman  retained  for  a  while

A   SKETCH    OF   THE   FIRM   OF 

his  interest  in  the  business,  and  until  his  death,  at  an  advanced  age, 
was  wont  to  visit  and  congratulate  the  successful  man  who  earlier  had 
been  his  associate. 

The  office  was  at  first  established  on  Remington  Street  in  Cam- 
bridge, and  the  most  important  connection  was  that  made  with  Messrs. 
Little,  Brown  and  Company  of  Boston,  then  as  now  an  eminent  pub- 
lishing house,  especially  of  law  books.  The  moving  spirit  at  that  date 
was  Mr.  James  Brown,  a  warm  friend  of  the  elder  John  Murray,  from 
whom  he  named  a  son,  who  has  succeeded  him  in  business.  The 
firm  gave  the  young  printer  substantial  encouragement,  and  Mr. 
Houghton,  -who  was  now  by  himself,  became  the  tenant  of  Mr.  Charles 
C.  Little  in  a  brick,  domestic  looking  building  on  the  banks  of  the 
Charles  River.  The  building  had  formerly  been  used  by  the  city  of 
Cambridge  as  a  house  for  the  town  poor,  and  stood  almost  in  the 
open  country.  Mr.  Houghton  and  Mr.  Brown  were  desirous  of  giv- 
ing the  new  press  a  significant  name,  and  tried  various  experiments 
till  Mr.  Brown  said  one  day :  "  This  press  stands  by  the  side  of  the 
Charles  River ;  why  not  call  it  The  Riverside  Press  ? "  and  this  most 
natural  name  was  then  given  it,  so  that  now  the  term  Riverside  has 
come  to  cover  a  thickly  populated  district  and  to  be  applied  to  various 
neighboring  industries. 

The  nature  of  Mr.  Brown's  business  led  to  somewhat  of  a  specializa- 
tion of  Mr.  Houghton's  industry,  and  he  gave  great  attention  to  the 
manufacture  of  law  books.  His  familiarity  with  this  form  of  profes- 
sional literature  led  him  afterward,  when  he  became  a  publisher  on 
his  own  account,  to  engage  actively  in  law-book  publication.  He  had 
moreover  as  an  intimate  associate  at  the  time,  and  one  who  was  for 
many  years  a  close  adviser,  his  life-long  friend  the  late  Hon.  Edmund 
H.  Bennett.  But  the  firm  of  Little,  Brown  and  Company  was  also 
largely  interested  in  works  of  standard  literature,  and  was  at  this  time 
carrying  forward  the  series  of  British  Poets,  re-edited  on  this  side 
of  the  water  by  Lowell,  Child,  and  Norton,  and  Mr.  Houghton  was 
soon  studying  the  problems  of  book-making  in  general  literature  and 
bringing  to  bear  his  double  training  as  an  artisan  and  a  student.  He 
extended  his  connection  with  publishing  houses,  especially  allying 
himself  with  Messrs.  Ticknor  and  Fields,  then  coming  to  the  front  as 
the  publishers  of  the  leading  American  authors.  In  a  short  time  he 
had  won  a  reputation  for  making  books  which  preserved  the  tradi- 
tions of  the  great  printers,  and  "  Printed  at  The  Riverside  Press  " 
became  a  trademark  of  value. 

As  his  printing  business  extended,  Mr.  Houghton  gradually  found 
himself  acquiring  an  interest  in  the  books  which  he  printed,  and 
he  saw  also  the  necessity  of  adding  facilities  for  binding.  He  went 
to  England  in  1864,  and  induced  skilled  workmen  to  come  to  River- 
side and  engage  with  him.     The  enlargement  of  facilities  was  made 

X 


HOUGHTON,   MIFFLIN  AND   COMPANY 

necessary  especially  by  the  connection  formed  with  Messrs.  G.  &  C. 
Merriam  and  Company,  of  Springfield,  the  publishers  of  Webster's 
Dictionary,  a  work  which  under  its  revised  form  of  The  International 
Dictionary  is  still  manufactured  at  Riverside.  It  became  clear  also 
to  Mr.  Houghton  that,  with  the  interest  he  was  acquiring  in  important 
books,  it  was  desirable  to  make  a  closer  connection  with  a  publisher, 
and  in  1864  he  formed  a  partnership  with  Mr.  Melancthon  M.  Kurd, 
of  New  York,  formerly  of  the  firm  of  Sheldon  and  Company,  and  the 
new  firm  of  Kurd  and  Houghton  at  once  began  the  publication  of 
law,  standard,  and  miscellaneous  books.  The  publishing  proper  was 
to  be  carried  on  in  New  York,  while  the  manufacture  of  books  for 
this  firm  as  well  as  for  others  was  to  continue  at  Riverside  under  the 
name  of  H.  O.  Houghton  and  Company. 


II 

Under  the  impulse  given  to  the  business  by  the  formation  of  the 
firm  of  Hurd  and  Houghton,  several  important  enterprises  were 
undertaken.  Among  these  was  the  republication  of  Smith's  Bible 
Dictionary,  enlarged  and  revised  by  the  eminent  Biblical  scholars 
Professor  Horatio  B.  Hackett  and  Dr.  Ezra  Abbot.  The  rapid 
development  of  a  special  literature  for  the  young  led  the  firm  to 
establish  The  Riverside  Magazine  for  Young  People,  which  was  pub- 
lished for  four  years,  1867-187 1,  under  the  editorship  of  Horace  E. 
Scudder.  The  firm  of  Hurd  and  Houghton  existed  under  the  same 
name  until  1878,  but  from  time  to  time  changes  occurred  in  its  per- 
sonnel. In  1866  Mr.  Albert  G.  Houghton,  an  elder  brother  of  the 
founder  of  the  Press,  was  admitted,  occupying  himself  mainly  with 
the  interests  in  New  York.  Not  long  after  the  establishment  of  Tlie 
Riverside  Magazine,  Mr.  George  H.  Mifflin,  a  recent  graduate  of  Har- 
vard College,  came  into  the  service  of  the  house,  and  has  had  contin- 
uous connection  with  it  ever  since.  In  1872  both  he  and  Mr.  Scud- 
der became  members  of  the  firm.  Mr.  Scudder  retired  after  three 
years,  at  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  partnership,  preferring  to  give 
his  time  more  exclusively  to  literary  pursuits,  but  has  remained 
actively  identified  with  the  editorial  department  of  the  business.  In 
1873  the  house  bought  The  Atlantic  Monthly. 

The  gravitation  of  the  business  to  Cambridge,  since  economy  of 
management  was  facilitated  by  shipping  direct  from  the  Press  and 
performing  there  most  of  the  functions  of  publishing,  was  accelerated 
by  the  purchase  of  The  Atlantic  and  by  an  important  change  which 
took  place  in  1878.  Failing  health  led  to  the  retirement  from 
active  service  of  Mr.  Albert  G.  Houghton,  and  Mr.  Hurd  also  for  a 
similar  cause  wished  to  be  relieved  of  business  care.     At  the  same 

XI 


A   SKETCH   OF   THE   FIRM   OF 

time  the  house  formed  a  consolidation  with  James  R.  Osgood  and 
Company,  the  successors  to  Ticknor  and  Fields.  Mr.  Osgood  repre- 
sented this  house  in  the  new  firm,  and  the  style  became  Houghton, 
Osgood  and  Company.  The  immediate  effect  of  this  was  to  trans- 
form a  well-equipped  manufacturing  concern  with  a  modest  list  of 
publications  into  a  large  publishing  house  having  on  its  catalogue 
the  names  of  the  great  leaders  of  American  literature.  The  premises 
in  Boston  formerly  occupied  by  James  R.  Osgood  and  Company 
became  the  headquarters  of  the  publishing  department,  and  the  books 
now  bore  the  imprint  of  Boston  and  New  York  instead  of  New  York 
and  Cambridge. 

The  firm  as  thus  constituted  continued  for  two  years,  when  Mr. 
Osgood  retired,  and  the  style  of  the  firm  became,  in  1880,  Houghton, 
Mifflin  and  Company ;  and,  shortly  after,  the  publishing  headquarters 
in  Boston  were  removed  to  4  Park  Street,  and  in  New  York  to  ii 
East  Seventeenth  Street.  Various  changes  in  the  personnel  of  the 
firm  have  occurred  since  that  time.  On  the  25th  of  August,  1895, 
Mr.  H.  O.  Houghton,  Senior,  the  founder  of  the  house,  died,  after  a 
lingering  illness  which  had  compelled  his  gradual  withdrawal  from 
very  active  occupation.  The  style  of  the  firm  has,  however,  continued 
the  same,  and  is  constituted  as  at  the  time  of  his  death,  his  interest 
still  being  represented  in  the  business.  Mr.  Mifflin  is  senior  partner, 
and  has  associated  with  him  James  Murray  Kay,  L.  H.  Valentine, 
Henry  O.  Houghton  (son  of  the  founder),  Oscar  R.  Houghton  and 
Albert  F.  Houghton  (sons  of  Mr.  Albert  G.  Houghton).  For  conven- 
ience in  accounts,  the  manufacturing  part  of  the  business  retains  the 
original  appellation  of  H.  O.  Houghton  and  Company,  but  the  inter- 
ests of  both  sides  of  the  house  are  identical. 

The  most  considerable  and  manifest  part  of  the  work  done  is  at 
Riverside.  At  that  place  the  books  and  periodicals  are  manufac- 
tured and  stored,  and  from  it  are  shipped.  The  mailing  department 
is  there  also,  and  the  accounts  are  kept  at  the  Press.  The  savings 
department  of  the  business,  which  is  in  effect  a  savings  bank  for  all 
connected  with  the  firm  in  any  capacity  and  in  any  of  its  establish- 
ments, is  managed  at  Riverside ;  and  a  Mutual  Benefit  Association 
is  under  the  control  of  those  engaged  at  the  Press. 

The  office  at  4  Park  Street,  Boston,  occupies  two  stories  of  what 
was  formerly  the  Quincy  mansion.  It  is  the  office  especially  of  the 
publishing  department,  where  are  conducted  the  correspondence  with 
authors  and  the  details  of  advertising.  The  educational  department, 
with  a  large  force  of  clerks,  is  established  in  the  main  rooms  ;  the 
subscription  department,  dealing  with  the  sale  of  libraries  of  stan- 
dard books,  has  its  office  here ;  and  in  the  story  above  are  the  edi- 
torial rooms,  furnished  with  a  serviceable  library,  the  office  of  the 
cataloguers,  and  the  publishing  office  of  TAg  Atlantic  Monthly. 

XII 


HOUGHTON,   MIFFLIN   AND   COMPANY 

In  New  York  the  offices  of  the  firm  are  at  1 1  East  Seventeenth 
Street,  where  they  occupy  a  portion  of  a  building  which  still  discloses 
in  the  drawing-room,  now  filled  with  books  and  desks,  the  former 
use  as  a  family  residence.  Two  of  the  partners  have  their  office 
here,  and  the  various  interests  of  the  house  are  served,  the  depart- 
ment for  the  sale  of  standard  libraries  being  especially  active.  In 
Chicago  the  firm  has  an  office  at  378-388  Wabash  Avenue,  where 
representatives  of  the  house  conduct  the  important  business  called 
for  by  a  distributing  centre  in  the  great  northwest,  keeping  them- 
selves especially  in  touch  with  the  significant  educational  movements 
of  that  region.  The  London  agents  of  the  house  are  Messrs.  A.  P. 
Watt  and  Son  at  Hastings  House,  Norfolk  Street,  Strand,  who  place 
the  publications  of  the  house  in  the  English  and  continental  market, 
and  aid  in  making  connections  with  English  authors. 


Ill 

The  collection  of  books  now  on  the  catalogue  has  been  formed  by 
the  direct  relations  of  authors  with  the  firm  in  the  first  instance, 
by  the  reissue  under  new  form  of  standard  works,  and  by  the  ab- 
sorption of  other  publishing  houses.  The  most  important  acces- 
sion, as  already  stated,  grew  out  of  the  consolidation  with  James  R. 
Osgood  and  Company ;  but  at  different  times  the  firm  became  succes- 
sors to  other  houses  which  went  out  of  business,  as  J.  G.  Gregory  and 
Company,  of  New  York,  and  Crocker  and  Brewster,  and  Ticknor  and 
Company,  of  Boston.  The  Catalogue  of  Authors  which  follows  this 
sketch  gives  the  names  of  those  writers  now  represented  by  the  pub- 
lications of  the  firm,  and  after  the  catalogue  will  be  found  descriptions 
of  the  series  of  books  which  form  important  features  in  the  industry 
of  the  house,  and  of  the  periodicals,  but  it  will  be  convenient  also  to 
show  in  a  rapid  survey  the  main  divisions  into  which  the  publications 
fall. 

I.    STANDARD    BOOKS 

Under  this  head  may  be  included  roughly  all  those  works  in  the 
English  language  which  have  stood  the  test  of  time,  and  are  accepted 
as  having  a  recognized  place  in  literature.  Such,  for  instance,  are 
the  books  included  in  the  great  group  of  British  poets,  numbering 
sixty-eight  volumes ;  Shakespeare,  in  six  volumes,  edited  by  the 
American  scholar  Richard  Grant  White ;  Tennyson,  in  a  great  variety 
of  forms,  the  scholarly  Cambridge,  the  popular  and  beautiful  illus- 
trated Household,  the  compact  Cabinet,  and  the  dignified  Riverside, 
the  last  in  six  volumes,  each  of  the  others  being  in  single  volumes ; 
the  works  of  De  Quincey,  as  first  collected  in  this  country,  in  twelve 

XIII 


A   SKETCH    OF   THE    FIRM   OF 

volumes  ;  the  most  complete  edition,  whether  in  England  or  in  Amer- 
ica, of  the  writings  of  Charles  Dickens,  in  thirty-two  volumes,  contain- 
ing the  great  original  designs  engraved  on  steel,  a  life  and  collection 
of  letters,  and  a  thorough  equipment  of  dictionary,  bibliographical 
notes  and  indexes  ;  a  library  edition  of  Thackeray's  works,  containing 
matter  in  no  other  collected  edition,  twenty-two  volumes  in  all ;  the 
complete  poetic  and  dramatic  works  of  Robert  Browning,  in  six  vol- 
umes, as  well  as  a  compact  edition,  with  annotations,  in  a  single 
volume ;  the  complete  poetical  works  of  Shelley,  in  four  volumes, 
thoroughly  equipped  with  biographical  sketch  and  annotations  by 
George  E.  Woodberry ;  the  great  edition  of  Bacon  by  Spedding,  Ellis, 
and  Heath,  reproduced  here  by  special  arrangement  with  Mr.  Sped- 
ding ;  the  writings  of  Anna  Jameson,  including  a  richly  illustrated  and 
revised  edition  of  those  relating  to  art,  the  matter  being  brought  down 
to  the  date  of  1895  ;  a  full  set  of  the  Waverley  novels,  in  twenty-five 
volumes,  accompanied  by  Lockhart's  Life  in  three  volumes,  and 
Scott's  Letters  in  two ;  and  the  complete  works  of  Macaulay. 

But  rich  as  the  list  is  in  British  literature  of  renown,  the  dis- 
tinction of  the  house  is  in  its  representation  of  American  literature. 
The  group  of  portraits  which  serves  as  a  frontispiece  to  this  catalogue 
will  be  recognized  at  once  as  standing  for  the  great  figures  of  the 
classic  period  of  our  literature.  When  we  name  Hawthorne,  Emer- 
son, Longfellow,  Whittier,  Lowell,  Holmes,  Mrs.  Stowe,  and  Thoreau, 
we  leave  but  one  or  two  of  the  great  American  authors  unmentioned, 
and  the  complete  writings  of  all  the  above  writers  are  issued  by 
Houghton,  Mifflin  and  Company,  and  by  that  house  alone.  By  long- 
continued  relations  with  these  authors,  and  after  their  death  with  their 
families  and  their  representatives,  the  house  has  become  thoroughly 
identified  with  them,  and  has  acknowledged  its  trust  by  presenting 
the  works  of  these  writers  in  a  great  variety  of  forms,  constantly 
aiming  to  meet  the  demands  of  the  public  by  beautiful  editions,  by 
inexpensive  ones,  by  editions  suited  for  study,  and  by  compilations. 
The  Riverside  Editions,  so  called,  are  noteworthy  for  their  fullness 
and  their  equipment,  and  the  Cambridge  Editions  of  the  poets, 
extending  also  into  the  whole  domain  of  English  poetry,  stand  not 
only  for  great  care  in  manufacture,  but  for  close  attention  to  that  edi- 
torial charge  which  provides  an  exact  text,  proper  annotation,  biblio- 
graphical matter,  and  thorough  equipment  of  indexes. 

II.    GENERAL   LITERATURE 

Here,  again,  the  attention  of  the  house  has  been  given  especially 
to  the  enlargement  of  American  literature.  Its  organized  work  has 
been  more  particularly  in  the  direction  of  historical  and  biographical 
writing.     The  great  Narrative  and  Critical  History  of  America,  edited 

XIV 


HOUGHTON,  MIFFLIN   AND   COMPANY 

by  Dr.  Justin  Winsor,  the  several  series  of  American  Statesmen,  Amer- 
ican Men  of  Letters,  and  American  Commonwealths,  indicate  how  impor- 
tant a  part  this  division  of  literature  plays  in  the  plans  of  the  house ; 
and  when  one  adds  the  series  of  works  by  Dr.  John  Fiske,  and  the 
writings  of  a  large  number  of  special  students,  it  is  clear  how  active 
a  part  is  taken  by  the  house  in  exploiting  American  and  European 
history  and  biography. 

Literature  also,  in  its  poetic  and  fictitious  form,  is  one  of  the  great 
traditions  of  the  house.  Upon  its  catalogue  may  be  found  the  poeti- 
cal writings,  besides  those  of  the  elder  American  poets,  of  a  long  list 
of  younger  men  and  women,  with  Mr.  Aldrich  and  Mr.  Stedman  to 
represent  the  connecting  links  between  the  old  and  the  new. 

The  strength  of  the  house  in  popular  fiction  is  shown  by  the  fact 
that  in  addition  to  the  names  of  many  British  writers  of  fiction  and 
of  such  classic  American  names  as  Cooper,  Hawthorne,  Holmes,  and 
Mrs.  Stowe,  the  catalogue  contains  some  eighty  authors  whose  names 
would  at  once  be  recognized  as  famous  and  popular ;  among  these, 
to  mention  a  few  very  much  in  the  eye  of  the  public,  are  Mrs.  Eliza- 
beth Stuart  Phelps  Ward,  Mr.  F.  Hopkinson  Smith,  Miss  Sarah  Orne 
Jewett,  Mr.  Gilbert  Parker,  Mrs.  Kate  Douglas  Wiggin,  Bret  Harte, 
Mrs.  Whitney,  and  Joel  Chandler  Harris. 

A  further  interesting  field  of  literature,  largely  occupied  by  Hough- 
ton, Mifflin  and  Company,  is  that  which  represents  the  enthusiasm 
of  lovers  of  nature.  The  writings  of  Thoreau  belong  among  the 
classics  of  our  literature,  but  candidates  for  a  like  position  may 
readily  be  found  in  the  works  of  John  Burroughs,  which  occupy  ten 
volumes,  Bradford  Torrey,  Frank  Bolles,  Olive  Thorne  Miller,  Row- 
land E.  Robinson,  and  others.  And  by  a  natural  association  one 
thinks  of  that  masterly  interpreter  of  the  genius  of  Japan,  Lafcadio 
Ream. 

III.    EDUCATIONAL   BOOKS 

Although  certain  text-books  of  value  are  on  the  list,  the  chief  at- 
tention in  this  department  has  been  directeJ  toward  the  introduction 
into  schools  of  the  classic  literature  already  issued  by  the  house  in 
library  form.  The  aim  here  has  been  to  give  the  writings  of  Amer- 
ican and  English  authors,  suitable  for  reading  by  persons  of  school 
age,  in  an  inexpensive,  handy  form,  and  provided  with  helpful  appa- 
ratus in  the  way  of  biographical  sketches,  maps,  portraits,  and  notes. 
The  Riverside  Literature  Series  and  Rolfe's  Students'  Series  cover 
already  more  than  a  hundred  and  fifty  titles,  and  each  school  year 
sees  the  issue  of  a  number  of  books  in  these  series. 

A  special  section  might  also  be  made  of  illustrated  works,  yet  the 
policy  of  the  house  is  rather  to  furnish  illustrated  editions  of  the 

XV 


A   SKETCH    OF   THE    FIRM    OF 

wTitings  of  the  authors  for  whom  they  publish  than  to  seek  more 
directly  for  occasions  to  make  holiday  books  in  which  the  illustrations 
should  be  the  supreme  feature.  One  exception  to  this  may  be  named 
in  the  monumental  work  of  designs  to  accompany  The  Rubaiyat  of 
Omar  Khayyam,  by  Elihu  Vedder.  Great  attention  has  been  paid 
to  the  portraiture  of  authors,  and  prints  from  more  than  a  hundred 
and  fifty  engraved  plates  have  been  issued,  as  well  as  a  very  large 
number  furnished  in  special  editions  of  classic  works. 


Printers  in  all  ages  since  the  invention  of  their  art  have  been  wont 
to  employ  distinctive  emblematic  devices  or  trade-monogi  ams.  Before 
title-pages  were  introduced,  and  in  some  cases  afterward,  an  inscrip- 
tion or  "  colophon  "  appeared  on  the  last  page  of  every  book,  con- 
taining the  place  or  year  of  its  publication,  or  both,  and  the  name 
of  the  press  at  which  it  was  manufactured.  Dual  shields  appear  on 
the  excellent  books  published  by  the  firm  of  Faust  and  Schol?er. 
An  anchor  embraced  by  a  dolphin  was  the  emblem  of  Aldus  ;  the 
anchor  signifying  stability  or  slowness,  and 
the  dolphin  swiftness,  the  combination  pre- 
senting symbolically  the  Aldine  legend,  Festina 
lente,  —  "  Make  haste  slowly,"  The  father  of 
printing  in  the  English  language,  William  Cax- 
ton,  decorated  his  books  with  a  monogram, 
lodocus  Badius,  besides  his  initials,  employed 
a  wood-cut  showing  the  interior  of  a  printing- 
ofBce,  with  a  hand-press  of  the  period. 

In  relief  upon  a  handsome  window  of 
stained  glass,  these  devices  of  classic  printers  greet  the  visitor  as  he 
enters  the  Park  Street  office,  and  upon  the  same  window  appears  the 
device  adopted  by  the  firm.  The  old  firm  of  Hurd  and  Houghton 
used  a  monogram  designed  by  Mrs.  B.  F.  Stevens,  the  daughter  of 
Mr,  Whittingham,  proprietor  of  the  famous  Chiswick  Press,  London, 
who  designed  most  of  the  typographical  orna- 
ments which  give  distinction  to  her  father's 
printing  office.  When  Mr,  Elihu  Vedder  pub- 
lished with  this  firm  his  accompaniment  to  The 
Rubaiyat  of  Omar  Khayyam,  he  furnished  for 
the  volume  a  title-page  ornament,  representing 
a  boy  on  the  bank  of  a  stream  sailing  paper 
boats.  On  a  scroll  was  "  The  Riverside  Press." 
The  firm  asked  Mr.  Vedder  to  repeat  this  de- 
vice in  a  form  practicable  for  ordinary  title- 
pages,  and  he  did  so,  substituting  the  motto 
which  had  long  been  in  use  by  the  head  of  the  firm.  Tout  bien  ou  rien, 
—  "  Do  it  well  or  not  at  all."     This  emblem  began  to  be  used  in 

XVI 


HOUGHTON,   MIFFLIN   AND   COMPANY 


1885,  but  in  the  fall  of  that  year  Mr.  Sidney  L.  Smith,  whose  decora- 
tive work  is  found  in  some  of  the  most  notable  illustrated  books, 
produced  another  design  upon  the  same  general 
theme,  and  the  Vedder-Smith  sketch  is  now 
familiar  to  the  public  on  the  books  which 
Houghton,  Mifflin  and  Company  publish,  either 
in  its  form  as  at  first  adopted, 
or  as  still  later  simplified  by 
Mr.  Bruce  Rogers.  Its  spe- 
cial significance  readily  ap- 
pears when  one  considers 
that  the  printing-house  which 
is  identified  with  this  firm 
took  its  name  from  its  position  on  the  banks  of 
the  Charles.  The  piper,  who  is  charming  his  little 
paper  boats  that  float  on  the  stream  and  bear 
lighted  candles,  sits  under  the  boughs  of  the  tree  of  knowledge  at 
sunrise,  and  is  conveniently  near  a  printing-press,  which  is  the  goal  of 
the  boats.

nature. 
Agassiz,  Louis.      (28  May,  1807-14  December,  1873.) 

The  son  of  a  Swiss  pastor,  Agassiz  very  early  threw  aside  all  other  considera- 
tions than  those  prompted  by  a  love  of  nature  and  study.  When  he  was  twenty- 
one  he  published  a  description  of  Brazilian  fishes  which  gave  him  immediate 
distinction.  For  eighteen  years  he  studied,  traveled,  and  taught  in  Europe. 
Then,  in  1846,  he  came  to  the  United  States,  where  as  lecturer,  professor  at 
Harvard,  organizer  of  a  great  museum,  he  became  the  greatest  stimulator  of 
scientific  study  in  the  country.

Cooper,  James  Fenimore.  (15  September,  1789-14  September,  1851.) 
Born  at  Burlington,  N.  J.  In  his  infancy,  his  father  removed  to  New  York 
State  and  founded  the  village  of  Cooperstown,  where  the  novelist  spent  most 
of  his  life  and  where  he  died.  In  1803  he  entered  Yale,  but  was  expelled  in 
his  junior  year  for  a  breach  of  discipline.  After  a  voyage  before  the  mast  in  a 
merchant  vessel,  he  entered  the  navy  as  a  midshipman  in  1808,  but  on  his  mar- 
riage to  Miss  De  Lancey  of  West  Chester,  N.  Y.,  in  181 1,  he  resigned  his  com- 
mission. His  second  novel,  "The  Spy,"  published  in  1821,  was  so  successful 
that  he  gave  up  farming,  to  which  he  had  devoted  himself  for  some  j'ears,  and 
adopted  the  profession  of  letters.  From  1826  to  1833  he  lived  abroad,  a  part  of 
the  time  as  consul  at  Lyons.  Though  an  ardent  patriot,  he  criticised  his  fellow 
countrymen  so  severely  in  some  of  his  writings  that  he  was  for  some  time  very 
generally  and  cordially  hated.

Born  at  Murfreesboro,  Tenn.  The  family  afterwards  removed  to  Nashville, 
then,  after  some  years,  back  to  Murfreesboro  in  1873,  ^^i^  from  there  to  St.  Louis 
in  188 1.  From  her  earliest  years  she  spent  her  summers  in  the  mountains  of 
eastern  Tennessee,  and  there  she  made  the  studies  and  observations  which  re- 
sulted in  her  published  stories.  Her  first  story,  "  The  Dancin'  Party  at  Harri- 
son's Cove,"  appeared  in  "  The  Atlantic  Monthly  "  in  1878  over  the  signature 
Charles  Egbert  Craddock,  and  was  followed  from  time  to  time  by  others  over 
the  same  name.  Her  identity  was  not  revealed  until  1885.  She  lived  in  St. 
Louis  for  nine  years,  but  returned  to  Tennessee  in  1S90.  Her  present  home  is 
at  Murfreesboro,  which  took  its  name  from  her  ancestor  Col.  Hardy  Murfree,  of 
Revolutionary  fame.

Hutchinson,  Thomas.      (9  September,  1711  -3  June,  1780.) 

A  great-great-grandson  of  Anne  Hutchinson,  the  heretic.  Bom  in  Boston. 
After  his  graduation  at  Harvard  in  1727,  he  spent  several  years  in  his  father's 
counting-house.  He  was  made  a  selectman  of  Boston  in  1737  and  a  representa- 
tive in  the  General  Court  in  the  same  year.  The  political  career  thus  begun  was 
continued  through  successive  periods  of  popularity  and  unpopularity  till,  as  royal 
governor  of  the  province,  he  was  superseded  by  General  Gage  in  1774.  Recent 
studies  of  his  life  and  character  show  him  to  have  been  a  truly  patriotic  citizen 
and  conscientious  man  as  well  as  an  able  politician,  a  profound  student  of  finance, 
and  a  gentleman  of  culture  and  scholarly  accomplishments,  though  he  died  in 
exile  (at  Brompton,  near  London),  either  cordially  hated  or  entirely  forgotten  by 
most  of  his  fellow-countrymen.  The  first  two  volumes  of  his  valuable  "  History 
of  the  Province  of  Massachusetts  Bay"  were  published  in  1764  and  1767  respec- 
tively, and  the  third  by  his  grandson  in  1828.

began  the  practice  of  his  profession.  He  refused  all  offers  of  public  office,  and 
remained  a  private  citizen  and  practicing  lawyer  during  his  entire  life.     He  was 

-  a  public-spirited  man,  however,  and  served  the  community  in  various  ways.  He

King,  Thomas  Starr.       (17  December,  1824-4  March,  1864.) 

Born  in  New  York  City.  He  received  only  a  desultory  education,  and  at  the 
age  of  fifteen  was  compelled  by  his  father's  death  to  assist  in  the  support  of  the 
family.  In  1845,  without  having  attended  a  theological  school,  he  began  preach- 
ing, and  in  the  following  year  he  became  pastor  of  the  Universalist  church  in 
Charlestown,  Mass.,  which  had  been  his  father's  charge.  He  exchanged  this 
pulpit  for  that  of  the  Hollis  Street  (Unitarian)  Church,  Boston,  in  1848,  and 
remained  there  until  i860,  when  he  accepted  a  call  to  San  Francisco.  It  was 
largely  through  his  influence  that  California  was  saved  to  the  Union,  and  he 
sacrificed  his  health  and  strength  in  the  cause.  He  was  a  popular  lecturer  on  a 
variety  of  subjects.  He  is  also  well  known  as  the  author  of  "  The  White  Hills," 
a  sort  of  poetical  guide-book  to  the  White  Mountains  of  New  Hampshire,  and 
one  of  the  higher  outlying  peaks  of  that  region  bears  his  name.

Thackeray,  William  Makepeace.   (18  July,  181 1  -  24  December,  1863.) 

Born  in  Calcutta  of  English  parents,  and  taken  to  England  at  the  age  of  five. 
He  entered  Trinity  College,  Cambridge,  in  1829,  but  left  after  two  years  without 
taking  his  degree,  and  traveled  on  the  Continent  for  several  years.  His  first 
literary  work  was  done  for  the  press,  and  in  1833  he  went  to  Paris  to  study  art, 
but  soon  discovered  that  his  genius  lay  in  another  direction ;  for,  though  he  illus- 
trated many  of  his  own  books,  he  was  never  successful  as  a  painter.  He  returned 
to  London  in  1837,  and  spent  the  rest  of  his  life  there,  visiting  the  East  in  1844, 
and  making  lecture  tours  in  America  in  1852-53,  and  1854-55.  He  was  editor 
of  the  newly-established  "  Cornhill  Magazine  "  from  i860  to  1862.

Thoreau,  Henry  David.     (12  July,  1S17  -6  May,  1S62.) 

Born  at  Concord,  Mass.,  of  French  extraction  on  his  father's  side,  his  grand- 
father having  emigrated  from  the  island  of  Jersey  to  Boston.  He  was  graduated 
at  Harvard  in  1837.  When  a  boy  he  assisted  his  father  in  the  making  of  lead 
pencils,  and  for  many  years  he  worked  at  this  trade  at  intervals  ;  but  surveying 
became  his  profession,  and  in  this  he  always  had  all  the  employment  that  he 
wanted.  His  especial  business  in  the  world,  however,  was  to  live  up  to  his  own 
ideals  of  life,  and  to  this  purpose  he  bent  all  his  energies.  He  was  always  in 
close  companionship  with  Nature,  and  in  1845  he  began  his  famous  two  years' 
residence  in  a  hut  on  the  shore  of  Walden  Pond.  He  was  an  uncompromising 
opponent  of  slavery,  and,  on  the  arrest  of  John  Brown,  he  made  a  memorable 
address  to  the  citizens  of  Concord  in  his  defense.  Concord  remained  his  home 
throughout  his  life.

Whittier,  John  Greenleaf.  (17  December,  1807-7  September,  1892.) 
Born  at  East  Haverhill,  Mass.  He  was  a  Friend  by  birth,  and  he  remained  a 
member  of  the  Society  throughout  his  life.  He  worked  on  his  father's  farm 
when  a  boy,  and  attended  the  Haverhill  Academy.  At  the  age  of  twenty-one  he 
edited  "The  Manufacturer"  in  Boston  for  a  few  months,  then  returned  to  the 
farm.  He  edited  the  Haverhill  "  Gazette  "  for  the  first  six  months  of  1830,  and 
then  went  to  Hartford,  Conn.,  as  editor  of  the  "  New  England  Weekly  Review," 
remaining  there  till  the  beginning  of  1832,  when  he  returned  to  Haverhill  and 
resumed  his  life  on  the  farm.  In  1836  he  removed  to  Amesbury,  Mass.  He  had 
hopes  of  a  political  career,  but  his  activity  in  the  anti-slavery  cause  destroyed  his 
chances  in  that  direction.  From  1847  to  i860  he  was  corresponding  editor  of 
the  "  National  Era,"  an  anti-slavery  paper  published  in  Washington,  to  which  he 
contributed  poems,  reviews,  editorials,  letters,  and  sketches.     His  later  years

in  summer  visits  to  New  Hampshire.  He  died  at  the  house  of  a  friend  at 
Hampton  Falls,  N.  H.

American  Statesmen. 

EDITED   BY  JOHN  T.   MORSE,   Jr. 

The  principle  adopted  by  the  editor  has  been  to  make  such  a  list 
of  men  in  public  life  that  the  aggregate  of  all  their  biographies  would 


LIBRARIES   AND   SERIES  I55 

give,  in  this  personal  shape,  the  history  and  the  picture  of  the  growth 
and  development  of  the  United  States,  from  the  beginning  of  that 
agitation  which  led  to  the  Revolution  until  the  completion  of  that 
solidarity  which  we  believe  has  resulted  from  the  civil  war  and  the 
subsequent  reconstruction. 

In  uniform  i6mo  volumes,  each  $1.25. 

The  whole  series  naturally  shapes  itself,  in  a  somewhat  crude  and 
rough  way  to  be  sure,  yet  by  virtue  of  substantial  lines  of  division, 
into  a  few  sub-series  or  groups.

British  Poets. 

About  forty-five  years  ago  Messrs.  Little,  Brown  Sz  Co.  began  the 
issue  of  a  series  of  volumes  under  the  above  title.  They  were  mainly 
reprints  of  English  editions,  and  in  some  cases  the  publishers  simply 
bought  sheets  and  bound  them  with  their  own  title-pages.  But  all 
that  were  reprinted  passed  under  the  careful  editorial  supervision  of 
the  late  Professor  Francis  J.  Child,  who  himself  contributed  the 
series  of  English  and  Scottish  Ballads,  made  the  admirable  Spenser, 
and  wrote  the  life  of  Hood.  He  called  in  the  aid  of  other  competent 
editors.  Lowell,  for  example,  edited  Keats,  and  wrote  the  life  of 
Wordsworth,  and  Mr.  Norton  wrote  the  life  of  Coleridge.  The  series 
was  afterward  sold  to  Messrs.  Ticknor  &  Fields,  and  later  came  upon 
the  list  of  Houghton,  Mifflin  &  Co.,  who  added  a  Chaucer,  edited  by 
Mr.  Arthur  Oilman,  and  a  Ben  Jonson,  edited  by  Mr.  Scudder.  They 
reissued  the  series  in  a  fewer  number  of  volumes  by  bringing  two 
and  sometimes  three  of  the  former  volumes  into  a  single  one  ;  and  the 
series  is  now  in  68  volumes,  crown  8vo,  each  $1.50;  the  set,  $100.00. 
Steel  portraits  of  the  poets  accompany  the  work.  The  list  is  as  fol- 
lows :  — 

Akenside  and  Beattie,  i  vol.  Milton  and  Marvell,  2  vols. 

Ballads,  English  and  Scottish,  4  vols.       Montgomery,  z  vols.

The  Cambridge  Edition  of  the  Poets. 

EDITED   BY   HORACE   E.   SCUDDER. 

In  this  series  each  writer  is  represented  by  his  poetical  works  in  a 
single  octavo  volume.  For  this  cause,  great  attention  has  been  given 
to  securing  compactness  of  form  and  legibility.  The  page  is  double- 
columned,  the  type  is  new  and  clear,  the  paper  is  thin,  but  strong  and 
opaque,  and  the  binding  is  both  durable  and  flexible.  These  points 
are  especially  observable  in  the  volume  devoted  to  Browning,  where 
the  entire  contents  of  the  Riverside  edition  in  six  volumes,  together 
with  his  Essay  on  Shelley,  and  considerable  editorial  apparatus,  have 
been  packed  into  1033  pp.,  and  yet  the  book  lies  agreeably  in  the  hand 
and  is  read  with  pleasure. 

A  like  study  of  condensation  and  completeness  has  been  shown  in 
the  editing.  The  editor  in  each  case  has  followed  the  most  authori- 
tative text,  and  the  proof  has  been  read  with  scrupulous  care.  For 
the  most  part,  a  chronological  order  has  been  adopted.   Introductions 


LIBRARIES   AND   SERIES  157 

have  been  supplied  giving  the  history  of  groups  of  poems,  and  prefa- 
tory notes  give  in  compact  form  information  regarding  the  origin  and 
first  appearance  of  the  separate  poems,  drawn  often  from  the  letters 
of  the  poets  themselves.  Brief  explanatory  notes,  glossaries,  and 
other  appliances  follow  the  text ;  to  each  volume  is  prefixed  a  suffi- 
ciently full  biographical  sketch ;  and  a  list  of  the  poems  in  their 
chronological  order,  and  indexes  of  titles  and  first  lines,  serve  to  make 
the  equipment  complete. 

The  best  procurable  portrait  is  engraved  for  frontispiece,  and  the 
vignette  on  the  title-page  is  of  the  poet's  home. 

Price,  per  volume,  $2.00,  with  the  exception  of  Browning,  which  is 
$3.00. 

The  volumes  thus  far  published  have  appeared  in  the  following 
order :  —

The  Riverside  Literature  Series. 

UNDER  THE   EDITORSHIP   AND   SUPERVISION   OF 
HORACE   E.   SCUDDER. 

This  series  of  classic  prose  and  poetical  literature  in  the  English 
tongue  has  been  issued  with  special  reference  to  the  use  of  public  and 
private  schools,  academies,  and  colleges.  The  numbers  are  therefore 
small  and  convenient  in  form,  of  about  100  pp.  each,  and  being  in 
paper  covers  are  published  at  a  low  price.  Most  of  the  separate 
numbers  can  also  be  had  in  cloth,  and  in  many  instances  two  or  even 
more  numbers  of  common  authorship  or  character  are  bound  together. 

The  series  started  with  Evangeline,  and  a  brief  description  of  the 
initial  number  will  indicate  the  characteristics  of  the  entire  series.     A 


l62  LIBRARIES   AND    SERIES 

biographical  sketch  by  the  editor  covers  the  whole  course  of  the  poet's 
career.  In  tliis  case  the  sketch  occupies  34  pp.,  but  ordinarily  the 
biographical  sketch  or  other  introduction  is  from  four  to  twelve  pages 
in  length.  Accompanying  this  is  a  brief  account  of  the  poet's  home 
life  by  his  daughter,  Miss  Alice  M.  Longfellow.  An  historical  intro- 
duction follows  narrating  the  facts  on  which  the  poem  is  based,  and  a 
critical  essay  gives  the  student  an  account  of  the  origin  of  Evangeline 
and  some  insight  into  its  form  and  metre,  with  reference  to  the  litera- 
ture which  has  grown  up  about  it.  The  poem  is  given  in  the  author's 
approved  text,  and  is  accompanied  by  foot-notes,  which  have  been  pre- 
pared with  great  care.  The  editor's  purpose  has  been  to  remove  diffi- 
culties in  the  way  of  an  understanding  of  the  poem,  but  not  to  afford 
a  substitute  for  a  good  dictionary ;  to  quicken  an  interest  in  the  con- 
tents of  the  poem,  but  not  to  comment  upon  it.  In  brief,  he  has  aimed 
to  bring  the  reader  close  to  the  poem,  not  to  interpose  himself  and 
his  observations,  or  to  usurp  the  function  of  the  teacher.  A  Pronoun- 
cing Vocabulary  at  the  close  is  for  the  convenience  of  teacher  and 
pupil.  The  number  is  further  enriched  by  a  portrait  of  Longfellow, 
views  of  his  birthplace  and  Cambridge  home,  and  a  map  of  Acadia. 

The  series,  begun  with  Evangeline  in  1883,  has  grown  till  it  includes 
a  very  large  part  of  the  prose  and  poetry  of  the  classic  American 
authors  adapted  to  schoolroom  use,  plays  of  Shakespeare,  and  a  num- 
ber of  the  standard  poems,  essays,  and  narratives  of  English,  Scotch, 
and  Irish  writers.  It  includes  also  translations  from  Hans  Andersen, 
the  Brothers  Grimm,  and  the  classic  writers  of  antiquity.  It  embraces 
in  its  range  literature  for  beginners  and  literature  studied  in  the  uni- 
versity, but  always  and  exclusively  it  offers  literature,  and  not  what 
has  been  ingeniously  and  half-contemptuously  termed  "  reading  mat- 
ter." The  purpose  has  been  to  give  wholes  and  not  fragments ;  the 
text  has  been  chosen  with  the  greatest  care,  and  a  just  mean  studied 
between  a  meagre  and  an  excessive  annotation.  Maps,  portraits,  and 
oth^r  pictures  are  introduced,  not  for  ornament  but  for  genuine  illus- 
tration. The  editor  has  never  lost  out  of  sight  the  aim  of  the  series, 
which  is  to  stimulate  an  interest  in  great  literature,  and  to  make  read- 
ing first  of  all  a  delight  and  not  a  task. 

Except  in  those  cases  where  a  special  editor  is  named,  the  numbers 
have  been  prepared  by  the  general  editor.

reader,  and  by  some  who  have  mastered  the  first.  Andersen  has  been  called  the 
first  child  who  has  contributed  to  literature,  so  thoroughly  does  he  understand  a 
child's  imagination.     The  preface  gives  a  pleasant  glimpse  of  the  man.

Dr.  Holmes  lived  to  see  The  Autocrat  read  by  the  grandchildren  of  those  who

book  in  American  literature.  It  is  like  overhearing  the  witty  talk  of  a  brilliant  con- 
versationalist to  read  this  book,  and  the  imaginary  characters  who  listen  to  the  Auto- 
crat and  occasionally  put  in  a  word  come  to  be  as  well  known  to  readers  as  many

These  famous  Voyages  give  one  the  entertainment  caused  by  looking  first 
through  one  end,  then  through  the  other,  of  a  spy-glass,  and  the  glass  is  always

One  of  the  great  Waverley  novels.    It  is  hard  to  say  which  is  the  most  popular  of 

Scott's  novels.     Every  reader  has  his  favorite,  but  the  fact  that  Ivanhoe  has  been 

selected  as  a  book  to  be  read  by  students  preparing  for  college  shows  the  estimate

This  poem  by  Scott  is  almost  always  the  first  one  to  be  read  when  Scott  is  taken 
up,  and  the  picturesqueness,  movement,  and  melody  of  the  verse  make  it  one  of  the 
last  to  fade  from  the  memory.  The  sketch  of  the  poet's  life  takes  special  cognizance 
of  the  poetic  side  of  his  nature,  and  many  of  the  illustrations  are  careful  studies 
from  the  scenes  of  the  poem.

interesting  account  of  the  growth  of  this  story.

Miss  Larcom  has  here  told  the  story  of  her  early  life,  when  as  a  country  girl  she

England  in  the  middle  of  the  century  as  she  knew  it,  scarcely  to  be  found  in  any 
other  book.  The  narrative  is  a  delightful  bit  of  autobiography,  and  has  a  charm 
both  poetic  and  personal.

Rhetoric  in  the  University  of  Chicago,  Chicago,  111.     218  pp.,  50  cents,  net. 
This  is  the  famous  first  part  of  the  great  classic.     The  editor  has  shown  clearly 
how  interesting  and  valuable  the  book  is  as  an  illustration  of  English  life  in  the 
Puritan  period,  and  how  masterly  it  is  as  a  piece  of  English  idiomatic  prose.     Bun- 
yan interprets  the  homely  England  of  his  day  as  Milton  did  the  English  state  and 
the  scholar's  attitude.     It  would  be  a  mistake  to  regard  the  book  as  exclusively 
religious.     It  would  be  a  mistake  also  to  deny  its  religious  inspiration.

The  first  part  of  Robinson  Crusoe  is  here  given  entire,  and  this  is  the  part  which 
the  world  knows  as  Robinson  Crusoe.  In  the  Introductory  Sketch,  the  editor, 
besides  giving  an  account  of  Defoe's  career,  shows  the  reason  why  this  book  has 
been  received  by  readers  old  and  young  as  a  work  of  genius,  when  almost  the  whole 
of  the  great  mass  of  Defoe's  writing  has  been  forgotten.  A  map  enables  one  to 
trace  Robinson  Crusoe's  imaginary  voyagings,  and  to  place  the  island  near  the  dis- 
puted boundary  of  Venezuela.

story  that  one  thoroughly  understands  and  enjoys  the  play.  Charles  and  Mary 
Lamb  were  themselves  delightful  writers,  and  to  read  their  Tales  from  Shakespeare

Silas  Marner  is  one  of  the  most  perfect  novels  on  a  small  scale  in  the  English  lan-

famous  voyage  just  after  leaving  college.  But  great  as  Dana  was  as  a  lawyer,  ora- 
tor, and  statesman,  he  lives  chiefly  in  the  memory  of  men  as  the  narrator  of  a  voy- 
age round  Cape  Horn  to  San  Francisco  before  the  discovery  of  gold.  The  days  of 
such  exploits  seem  gone  by,  but  this  book  remains  as  a  literary  record,  and  will 
always  be  thus  remembered. 

Uncle  Tom's    Cabin  ;   or.  Life   among  the   Lowly.      By   Harriet  Beecher 
Stowe.     With  Introductory  chapter  on  Mrs.  Stowe  and  her  career.  Portrait,  and 
picture  of  Mrs.  Stowe's  birthplace.     Crown  8vo,  518  pp.,  70  cents,  7iet. 
The  most  celebrated  American  book,  and  one  of  the  world's  great  books.     The 

Introductory  chapter  gives  a  sketch  of  Mrs.  Siowe's  life,  and  some  account  of  a  book 

which  has  had  a  wonderful  history.     It  has  well  been  called  not  a  book  only,  but  a 

great  deed. 

Vicar  of  Wakefield,  The.     By  Oliver  Goldsmith.     With  Introduction,  Notes, 

Portrait,  and  Illustrations.     232  pp.,  50  cents,  net. 

So  celebrated  is  this  book  as  a  piece  of  English  that  German  boys,  when  set  to 
studying  the  English  language,  are  early  given  this  tale.  It  is  Goldsmith's  one 
story,  and  has  outlived  a  vast  number  of  novels  written  in  his  day. 

Vision  of  Sir  Launfal,  The,  Under  the  Old  Elm,  and  Other  Poems. 
^     By  James  Russell  Lowell.     With  Biographical  Sketch,  Portrait,  and  Picture  of 
Elmwood,  Lowell's  Home  in  Cambridge.     200  pp.,  60  cents,  net. 

War  of  Independence,  The.  By  John  Fiske.  W^ith  Biographical  Sketch, 
Portrait  of  the  Author,  and  four  Maps.  214  pp.,  60  cents,  net. 
Dr.  John  Fiske  is  the  most  eminent  of  living  American  historians.  His  large  his- 
tories are  read  eagerly,  as  he  adds  volume  to  volume,  and  in  time  it  is  hoped  that  he 
will  cover  the  whole  course  of  American  history.  This  small  book  contains  in  a 
nutshell  the  meat  of  a  great  book.  It  is  a  clear  narrative,  and,  what  is  quite  as 
important,  it  gives  the  why  and  wherefore  of  the  Revolution,  and  explains  how  one 
event  led  to  another.  It  contains  also  suggestions  for  collateral  reading,  and  a  bio- 
graphical sketch  which  gives  some  notion  of  the  author's  training  as  a  scholar  and 
author. 

Washington,   George.      An   Historical   Biography.      By   Horace   E.   Scudder. 

With  four  Illustrations.     253  pp.,  60  cents,  net. 

Within  a  brief  compass  Mr.  Scudder  has  attempted  to  give  the  narrative  of 
Washington's  life,  and  to  show  that  he  was  a  living,  breathing  man,  and  not,  as 
some  seem  to  think  him,  a  marble  statue.  He  calls  his  book  an  historical  biography 
because  he  has  tried  to  show  the  figure  in  its  relation  to  the  great  events  of  Ameri- 
can history  in  which  it  was  set.

THE  ATLANTIC  MONTHLY. 

A  Maga-zine  of  Literature^  Science^  Art,  and  Politics. 


The  origin  of  The  Atlantic  forms  the  subject  of  a  chapter  in  Ameri- 
can literature  which  has  often  been  written.  The  magazine  was 
estabUshed,  not  primarily  as  a  commercial  enterprise,  but  that  a  group 
of  men  and  women  who  had  moral  earnestness  and  literary  power 
might  have  an  organ  which  should  stand  for  the  best  impulses  in 
American  life,  and  marshal  the  literary  forces  of  the  country.  The 
first  editor  of  the  magazine,  James  Russell  Lowell,  stamped  his  own 
character  at  once  on  the  periodical.  His  acute  literary  conscience 
and  his  enthusiasm  for  great  reforms  gave  assurance  that  the  maga- 
zine would  show  the  best  literary  art  and  bring  to  the  front  the  wor- 
thiest material  for  thought  and  feeling. 

The  first  publishers  of  the  magazine  were  Messrs.  Phillips,  Samp- 
son &  Co.,  of  Boston ;  and  their  literary  adviser,  the  late  Francis  H. 
Underwood,  was  largely  concerned  in  organizing  the  magazine  and 
getting  it  on  its  feet.  Some  of  the  incidents  connected  with  the  found- 
ing have  been  recorded  by  Mr  John  T.  Trowbridge,  a  contributor  to 
the  first  number,  in  his  article  written  after  Mr.  Underwood's  death, 
and  published  in  The  Atlantic  for  January,  1895,  under  the  title  The 
Author  of  Quabbin.  Mr.  Lowell  was  at  the  time  a  professor  in  Har- 
vard College,  and  he  named  as  an  indispensable  aid  in  giving  char- 
acter to  the  work  Dr.  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes,  known  then  as  a 
felicitous  poet,  an  agreeable  lecturer,  and  a  brilliant  conversationalist. 

Dr.  Holmes  began  his  Autocrat  of  the  Breakfast-Table  in  the  first 
number,  which  was  issued  in  November,  1857,  and  at  once  gave  the 
magazine  a  distinct  reputation  through  the  introduction  of  what  was 
almost  a  new  variety  of  literary  composition.  He  continued  to  con- 
tribute to  the  magazine  down  to  the  year  of  his  death.  The  steadfast- 
ness of  the  old  contributors  to  the  magazine  is  remarkable.  Of  the 
contributors  to  the  first  number  two  are  now  (1899)  ^^ill  living  — 
Professor  Charles  Eliot  Norton  and  Mr.  John  T.  Trowbridge.  Mr, 
Norton  wrote  in  the  first  number  on  the  Art  Exhibition,  then  attract- 
ing great  attention  in  Manchester,  England,  and  he  had  an  article  on 
Rudyard  Kipling's  poetry  in  the  number  for  January,  1897,  the  vol- 
umes between  these  dates  containing  about  fifty  papers  frcSm  his  pen, 
including  important  Dante  studies.  Mr,  Trowbridge,  who  had  a 
story  in  the  first  number,  contributed  more  than  sixty  poems,  tales, 
and  essays  before  that  in  which  he  gave  his  pleasant  reminiscences  of 
the  beginning  of  the  magazine.  Perhaps  nothing  so  pointedly  indi- 
cates the  steadfastness  of  the  magazine  to  its  early  ideas  as  the  fact 
that  Mr.  Lowell  invited  the  great  historian  Parkman  to  tell  the  story 


i86  THE   ATLANTIC   MONTHLY 

of  the  Capture  of  Louisbourg,  and  thirty-three  years  later  Dr.  Parkman 
found  it  natural  to  send  this  study  to  the  editor  of  llic  Atlantic  oi  that 
day. 

Dr.  Parkman  was  one  of  the  distinguished  company  of  authors  who 
early  made  the  magazine  the  vehicle  for  their  writings.  In  the  very 
first  number,  besides  the  writers  already  named,  appeared  Emerson 
with  five  poems,  Mrs.  Stowe  with  a  story,  Motley  with  his  Florentine 
Mosaics,  William  H.  Prescott  with  an  historical  paper,  Longfellow 
with  a  poem,  —  Santa  Filomena,  —  and  Lowell  himself  with  two  poems 
and  a  causerie.  Colonel  Higginson  and  Rev.  Edward  Everett  Hale, 
both  frequent  contributors  ever  since,  made  their  appearance  in  the 
magazine  in  its  first  year. 

Four  volumes,  covering  two  years  and  two  months,  were  issued  by 
the  house  of  Phillips,  Sampson  «Sc  Co.,  when  the  death  successively  of 
Mr.  Phillips  and  Mr.  Sampson  was  followed  by  a  dissolution  of  this 
firm,  and  the  magazine  passed  into  the  hands  of  Messrs.  Ticknor  & 
Fields.  Mr.  Lowell  continued  to  conduct  it  for  a  few  months  longer, 
when  he  resigned  the  editorship  to  one  of  the  members  of  the  firm, 
Mr.  James  T,  Fields,  but  continued  his  close  connection  with  the 
magazine  as  contributor  until  his  death.  The  house  of  Ticknor  & 
Fields  was  the  leading  house  in  the  country  in  the  publication  of 
literature  proper,  especially  that  of  American  origin,  and  under  the 
skillful  management  of  Mr.  Fields  the  magazine  drew  to  itself  a  large 
number  of  the  best  writers  of  the  day,  welcoming  also  the  newcomers. 
Mr.  Aldrich  and  Mr.  Howells  early  became  contributors,  and  Mr. 
John  Fiske,  Mr.  Burroughs,  and  Bret  Harte  were  added  about  the 
same  time.  Of  the  older  writers,  the  most  celebrated,  besides  those 
already  named,  were  Hawthorne,  Thoreau,  Bryant,  and  among  foreign 
writers  Robert  Brov/ning  and  Sainte-Beuve. 

In  1866  Mr.  Fields  associated  with  himself  Mr.  William  Dean 
Howells,  who  had  lately  returned  from  Venice,  and  had  already  been 
a  contributor  ;  and  from  this  time  on  till  his  connection  with  the  maga- 
zine was  discontinued  by  his  resignation  from  the  editorship,  Mr. 
Howells  was  a  constant  writer,  his  novels,  sketches,  poems,  and  criti- 
cisms probably  exceeding  in  amount  that  of  any  other  contributor  up 
to  this  time.  In  187 1  Mr.  Howells  became  sole  editor,  Mr.  Fields 
retiring  at  that  time  from  the  firm.  The  magazine  continued  the 
property  of  the  successive  firms  of  Ticknor  &  Fields,  Fields,  Osgood 
&  Co.,  and  James  R.  Osgood  &  Co.  until  the  close  of  1873,  when  it 
passed  into  the  hands  of  Messrs.  H.  O.  Houghton  &  Co.,  of  the 
Riverside  Press,  Hurd  «S:  Houghton  of  New  York,  and  has  continued 
in  the  same  hands,  under  changes  of  firm  names,  since  that  date. 
Mr.  Howells  continued  to  edit  the  magazine,  having  for  a  while  as 
assistant  Mr.  George  Parsons  Lathrop,  until  the  spring  of  1880,  when 
he  was  succeeded  by  Mr.  Thomas  Bailey  Aldrich.  Mr.  Aldrich  was 
followed  in  the  spring  of  1890  by  Mr.  Horace  E.  Scudder ;  in  the 
spring  of  1896  Mr.  Walter  H.  Page,  formerly  editor  of  The  Forum^ 
New  York,  became  associate  editor,  and  in  the  summer  of  1898,  on 
the  retirement  of  Mr.  Scudder,  he  became  sole  editor. 

The  Atlantic  has  never  changed  its  form  to  any  considerable  extent. 
The  early  numbers  carried  on  the  cover  a  vignette  of  John  Winthrop, 
the  first  governor  of  Massachusetts  Bay ;  but  upon  the  outbreak  of  the 


THE   ATLANTIC   MONTHLY  187 

war  for  the  Union  the  American  flag  was  substituted  for  this  portrait, 
and  after  the  close  of  the  war  the  contents  of  the  number  occupied 
the  same  place.  In  1898,  when  the  war  with  Spain  broke  out,  the 
flag  was  again  raised  on  the  cover,  and  lowered  only  when  the  pro- 
tocol was  signed.  From  time  to  time,  especially  since  the  magazine 
came  under  the  care  of  Mr.  H.  O.  Houghton,  improvements  have 
been  made  in  typography,  paper,  and  binding  ;  the  display  of  the  con- 
tents also  has  been  made  more  clear,  but  the  size  and  color  of  the 
cover  and  general  air  of  the  magazine  have  been  preserved. 

The  articles  at  first  were  not  signed,  the  publishers  did  not  publicly 
announce  them,  and  the  table  of  contents  accompanying  each  volume 
did  not  contain  the  names  of  authors  annexed  to  their  several  contri- 
butions. This  last  practice  was  begun  in  the  ninth  volume,  and  at 
the  beginning  of  the  twenty-sixth  the  present  custom  was  adopted  of 
signing  each  article  with  the  author's  name  ;  the  practice  continued, 
however,  of  withholding  signatures  from  reviews  and  articles  in 
departments.  When  the  first  general  index  was  published  in  1877, 
and  especially  when  the  second  comprehensive  index  in  1889  was  pre- 
pared, pains  was  taken  to  record  the  authors'  names  of  all  unsigned 
articles  of  every  description  save  one. 

In  the  first  number  Mr.  Lowell  introduced  a  department  of  a  some- 
what personal  order,  called  The  Round  Table,  but  he  probably  took 
alarm  at  the  prospect  of  having  to  keep  it  up  with  his  own  writing, 
and  he  did  not  repeat  the  experiment.  In  1872,  shortly  after  coming 
into  office  as  sole  editor,  Mr.  Howells  organized  a  group  of  depart- 
ments, covering  literature,  science,  art,  politics,  music,  and  subse- 
quently education  ;  he  had  the  special  cooperation  of  Mr.  Thomas 
Sergeant  Perry  in  French  and  German  Literature,  Mr.  John  Fiske  in 
Science,  Mr.  William  Foster  Apthorp  in  Music,  and  Mr.  Arthur 
George  Sedgwick  in  Politics.  These  departments  were  discontinued 
in  1877.  For  a  few  numbers,  also,  in  1876  and  1877,  the  experiment 
was  tried  of  giving  original  music  accompanying  original  songs.  In 
1877  Mr.  Howells  introduced  The  Contributors'  Club.  He  had  from 
time  to  time  received  sprightly  letters  from  contributors  and  others, 
sometimes  containing  good-humored  criticism  of  the  contents  of  the 
magazine,  and  as  a  frugal  editor  he  disliked  to  see  so  much  good 
"  copy  "  wasted  ;  accordingly,  he  began  making  use  of  excerpts  from 
the  letters,  but  the  club  quickly  passed  beyond  this  simple  function, 
and  became  the  vehicle  for  light  table  talk  on  a  variety  of  themes  by 
a  number  of  persons.  One  article  in  the  club  would  lead  to  another, 
and  the  shelter  afforded  by  the  anonymous  nature  of  the  contributions 
led  to  much  free  speech.  Perhaps  no  one  writer  contributed  so  many 
articles  which  provoked  other  articles  as  the  late  E.  R.  Sill.  The 
authorship  of  articles  in  the  club  is  not  disclosed  in  the  otherwise  full 
Atlantic  Index.  In  1896  another  department  was  added  and  resorted 
to  irregularly,  under  the  name  Men  and  Letters,  designed  to  give 
opportunity  for  brief  signed  articles  on  authors  and  literary  topics, 
but  not  formal  reviews  of  books. 

Reviews  of  books  have  formed  a  special  feature  from  the  outset, 
and  a  reference  to  the  Index  will  disclose  the  fact  that  besides  the 
editors,  a  number  of  the  foremost  critics  in  the  country  have  been 
engaged  in  this  work.    In  1880  the  reviews  of  current  literature,  which 


i88  THE  ATLANTIC   MONTHLY 

formerly  had  been  in  a  department  by  themselves,  were  made  regular, 
though  still  unsigned  articles  at  the  close  of  each  number,  the  prac- 
tice being  adopted  of  grouping  kindred  works,  when  practicable,  in  a 
single  article.  Of  late  there  have  been  frequent  departures  from  this 
practice,  and  many  reviews  have  been  signed,  especially  when  they 
have  been  large  studies  of  special  subjects  or  authors.  In  1879  Mr. 
Howells  added  to  the  regular  reviews  a  summary  of  current  publica- 
tions, with  rapid  comments,  under  the  title  of  Books  of  the  Month. 
This  department  in  1891  was  renamed  Comment  on  New  Books,  and 
was  continued  until  the  spring  of  1897,  when  the  great  increase  in 
special  book  journals  and  the  enormous  multiplication  of  literature 
induced  the  conductors  to  abandon  the  Comment  as  a  small-type 
department. 

The  line  which  stands  on  the  cover  of  the  magazine  below  the  title 
indicates  briefly  the  scope  of  TJte  Atlantic  and  the  purpose  it  has 
always  held.  It  is  above  all  devoted  to  literature.  Not  only  is  the 
subject  of  literature  itself  constantly  considered,  but  what  is  more  to 
the  point,  the  magazine  contains  Avorks  of  literary  art,  and  it  aims 
at  the  best  literary  form  in  all  its  articles.  The  lasting  contributions 
to  American  literature  which  had  their  first  appearance  in  The  Atlantic 
cannot  readily  be  reckoned.  In  poetry  it  has  had  the  honor  to  print 
for  the  first  time  a  large  number  of  poems  by  Emerson,  Longfellow, 
Bryant,  Whittier,  Lowell,  Holmes,  Bayard  Taylor,  Stedman,  Aldrich, 
Howells,  T.  W.  Parsons,  Fawcett,  Alice  Cary,  Helen  Hunt,  to  say 
nothing  of  younger  writers,  and  it  has  always  given  hospitality  to  new 
names,  making  the  hospitality  of  special  worth  by  the  care  with  which 
it  has  guarded  against  the  admission  of  the  commonplace.  In  fiction 
it  has  had  a  series  of  novels  which  are  among  the  books  that  have 
not  been  pushed  aside  by  temporary  fashion.  It  includes  stories  by 
Hawthorne,  Mrs.  Stowe,  Holmes,  Howells,  Henry  James,  Aldrich, 
Bret  Harte,  E.  E.  Hale,  A.  S.  Hardy,  Thomas  Hardy,  Crawford, 
Charles  Egbert  Craddock,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Stuart  Phelps  Ward,  Stock- 
ton, Miss  Jevvett,  Gilbert  Parker,  Mrs.  Wiggin,  Mrs.  Catherwood,  Mrs. 
Deland,  Paul  Leicester  Ford,  and  F.  Hopkinson  Smith.  One  field  of 
literature  it  has  occupied  with  many  delightful  articles,  that  of  per- 
sonal reminiscences.  Mrs.  Kemble  published  here  her  Old  Woman's 
Gossip,  Dr.  Edward  Everett  Hale  his  A  New  England  Boyhood,  Dr. 
George  Birkbeck  Hill  A  Talk  over  Autographs,  Mrs.  Lathrop  Some 
Memories  of  Hawthorne,  Mr.  Fields  Our  Whispering  Gallery,  later 
named  Yesterdays  with  Authors,  Simon  Newcomb  his  Reminiscences 
of  an  Astronomer,  Colonel  Higginson  his  Cheerful  Yesterdays,  Prince 
Kropotkin  his  Autobiography,  and  Mrs.  Julia  Ward  Howe  her  Remi- 
niscences. 

As  a  special  exponent  of  American  politics  and  history.  The  Atlantic 
has  never  lost  sight  either  of  the  foundations  of  national  life  or  of  the 
great  questions  of  current  interest.  Before  and  during  the  war  for  the 
union  it  had  trenchant  political  papers  by  Lowell  and  others,  and  it 
published  the  second  series  of  Lowell's  masterly  Biglow  Papers.  Mr. 
Parton  in  his  biography  of  Jefferson,  Dr.  Parkman  in  his  studies  in 
colonial  history,  and  Dr.  John  Fiske  in  a  great  variety  of  historical 
papers,  aftenvard  gathered  into  his  several  books,  are  a  few  of  the 
contributors  in  this  field.     A  quarter  of  a  century  after  the  war,  there 


THE   ATLANTIC   MONTHLY  189 

appeared  three  illuminating  papers  summing  up  the  consciousness  of 
the  three  great  sections  during  that  war :  Professor  Gildersleeve's 
The  Creed  of  the  New  South,  Professor  Shaler's  The  Border  State 
Men  of  the  Civil  War,  and  General  Cox's  Why  the  Men  of  '61  fought 
for  the  Union.  The  war  with  Spain  and  the  problems  growing  out 
of  it  have  given  occasion  for  important  papers  by  James  Bryce,  Ira 
N.  HoUis,  Richard  Olney,  Henry  Charles  Lea,  Carl  Schurz,  David 
Starr  Jordan,  and  Benjamin  Kidd.  The  biographical  side  of  history 
has  been  made  especially  prominent  in  recent  years,  as  may  be  seen 
from  such  notable  papers  as  Carl  Schurz's  Abraham  Lincoln,  James 
C.  Carter's  Mr.  Tilden,  Professor  Palmer's  Evangelinus  Apostolides 
Sophocles,  Dr.  Royce's  Fre'mont,  Captain  Mahan's  series  of  the  Com- 
panions of  Nelson,  John  C.  Ropes's  General  Sherman,  Dr.  Allen's 
Phillips  Brooks,  J.  N.  Denison's  General  Armstrong,  Senator  Dawes's 
Recollections  of  Stanton,  Fiske  and  Winsor  on  Parkman. 

The  series  by  Mr.  Godkin  of  studies  in  recent  democracy  is  but 
one  of  the  many  indications  that  The  Atlantic  is  earnestly  desirous 
of  grappling  with  present  problems.  The  paper  by  Mr.  Woodrow 
Wilson  on  President  Cleveland,  that  by  Dr.  John  Fiske  on  Arbitra- 
tion, and  that  by  President  Eliot  on  Five  American  Contributions 
to  Civilization,  to  mention  a  few  only  of  the  later  papers,  intimate 
the  policy  of  the  magazine  to  treat  politics  in  a  large  way.  By  the 
general  term  "  politics  "  it  understands  all  the  functions  of  the  State, 
and,  especially  of  recent  years,  it  has  given  unremitted  attention  to 
movements  in  education.  It  heralded  some  of  the  great  reforms  by 
papers  from  Presidents  Eliot,  G.  Stanley  Hall,  and  others;  it  has 
given  editorial  consideration  to  the  study  of  English  both  in  school 
and  college  ;  in  the  winter  of  1896  it  set  on  foot  a  broad  inquiry  into 
the  public  school  system  throughout  the  United  States  ;  and  it  brings 
before  the  public  the  important  philosophical  observations  of  Profes- 
sors Miinsterberg  and  William  James.  It  has  lately  occupied  itself  with 
some  of  the  important  questions  springing  out  of  the  improvement  of 
town  and  country  life  in  parks  and  reservations,  and  it  seeks  both  to 
record  progress  and  to  point  the  way.  In  connection  with  this  gen- 
eral subject,  it  has  published  some  remarkable  papers  by  John  Muir. 

In  brief.  The  Atlantic  aims  at  representing  the  interests  of  culti- 
vated Americans  who  are  thoroughly  concerned  in  the  development 
of  the  higher  life  of  the  nation,  and  wish  to  see  great  subjects  treated 
in  a  great  way ;  who  also  ask  in  their  magazine  a  satisfaction  of  their 
demand  for  pure  literature.  The  Atlantic  therefore  preserves  a  bal- 
ance between  that  literature  which  is  charged  with  the  task  of  inform- 
ing and  stimulating,  and  that  which  appeals  to  the  imagination  and  a 
refined  taste.  It  is  neither  a  miscellany  nor  an  organ,  but  combines 
the  prominent  features  of  the  political,  historical,  and  sociological 
review,  the  critical  and  scholarly  journal,  and  the  vehicle  for  creative 
literature.
